The main points of the Nehru report were as follows:

  • India would be given Dominion status. This means independence within the British Commonwealth.
  • India will be a federation which shall have a bicameral legislature at the centre and Ministry would be responsible to the legislature.
  • Governor General of India would be the constitutional head of India and will have the same powers as that of British Crown.
  • There will be no separate electorate.
  • The draft report also defined the citizenship and fundamental rights.
  • The novel features of the Nehru Committee Report were almost accepted by the Indian leaders. The next session of the Congress was held in Calcutta in December 1928. In this session, the Nehru Report was accepted by a majority vote.
